Does This Ferguson Image Show Agent Provocateurs?
This image is wrong on many levels.
First, the cop is pointing the gun directly at the lady, who is holding a *gasp* sign.
But more important, look how the cops are dressed!, Ratty jeans and tennis shoes. These cops appear to be dressed to blend into the crowd. Notice how one is black, and has his face covered. Then there is an image taken right after this,
Why are these two cops in uniform, while the other guys aren’t? And bearded cops?? Pretty unusual.
Notice how cops like to shave their heads?
In LA County if you attend the LASD Academy you don’t (hair still has to be within their standards). But if you attend Rio Hondo in Whittier (a popular choice for departments that don’t like LASD’s teaching methods) you do.
I think it’s because it’s another extension of the “military atmosphere” of a police academy. They figure that, just like the military, they yell at you, make you do PT’s every possible second, so why not make you shave your head too?
I don’t recall of LAPD makes their recruits shave their heads…I haven’t been down to Elysian Park in a long time.

And one last thing. Why are so many of the protesters being arrested white?

Could it be that these are actually cops being arrested??
Well that would explain who those people are running amuck in that community all times of the night when there’s a curfew.
or fake cop there to cause trouble
Crisis strategy THINK TANK agitprop street theater. Remember Orson Wells War of the Worlds? Welcome to the FU-ture to-DAY!
Interesting connection. They would be able to ditch the riot gear quickly and blend into the crowd without too much effort. Police are not usually this informally dressed when operating in this capacity. There has to be another reason for this. Notice too that most of the cops look 20-30 with trendy facial hair whereas the full riot gear cops look more seasoned and clean cut. These guys would absolutely blend in with youthful protesters. It would be interesting to compare these pictures against others that are taken of the crowds at various times. I wonder if you could identify any of these guys pretending to be protesters… or even worse, provocateurs.
